How BspC from Streptococcus agalactiae Interacts with Host Vimentin during Meningitis.

How BspC from Streptococcus agalactiae Interacts with Host Vimentin during Meningitis. Trends Microbiol. 2019 Jul 16;: Authors: Beninati C, Famà A, Teti G Abstract Streptococcus agalactiae meningitis is a frequent neonatal disease associated with high mortality and permanent neurological damage. Deng et al. (PLoS Pathog., 2019) now show that interactions between the bacterial protein BspC and host cell vimentin participate in the process of invasion of the meninges by this bacterial pathogen.
